A co-worker gave me this Legna SR 300 A2 saw. Its a combination table saw, miter saw that share a blade. Quite an interesting contraption, but to my knowledge it was never designed for use here in the states.

Anyways, I'm trying to figure out what I can do to make it work. Do I change the plug to a typical 220 plug, or does anyone know it this can be wired to 110?
Not a plug i've seen before.

It's rated for 230V 50 Hertz, US power is 120/240V 60 Hertz, which means it will run at a higher speed then what it was designed for if supplied at 240V 60Hz & it will not run on 120V, & cannot be reconnected. The plug is a Schuko style, the most common type of attachment plug used in the parts of the world where 230V is the normal supply, compared to North American 120V.
